Located at the start of Montréal's famous Miracle Mile shopping district and the foot of Mont Royal, this 1800s hotel (which stands on grounds that were once originally owned by the Gentlemen of St. Sulpice, a religious order of distinguished French aristocrats) features distinctly unique rooms in four renovated Victorian townhouses. The cozy rooms are richly furnished with original molding, antiques, and pieces of local artwork. The property is also just minutes by metro to the Molson Centre, home of the Montréal Canadiens, and the Place des Arts.
